Looks like a lot of people are finishing their lists. The deadline to be included in this year's completion lists is Oct. 15, 2012. This becomes part of the story of Colorado's history of mountaineering, and I'd like to encourage everyone who's completed a list to submit their name.

If you've finished the CO 14ers, 13ers, etc., or any of the CO Hundred Milestones (Highest 100, 200, etc.), you can submit your name to the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) for the record books. The lists for completions submitted in 2012 will be published in the Winter issue of the "Trail and Timberline," the CMC's quarterly publication, and recorded in the list completion databases. You do NOT need to be a member of the CMC to register your completion. Also, if you've completed a list prior to 2012, but never knew you could report it, you can still turn in your name now.

If you're reporting a 14er completion, please put "14er Files" in the subject line of your email, and include your name as you'd like it to appear, the name and date of your first 14er, and the name and date of your last 14er, or as much of that information as you can provide. For the 14ers, you can also write a paragraph with a story about your quest, and submit a photograph, which might be included in the 14er article.

If you're reporting a 13er milestone (Highest 100, 200, ..., 600 or All Thirteeners), please put "Beyond the 14ers" in the subject line, and include your name, and the name and date of your final peak in the list(s) you've completed. If you're one of this year's 13er finishers, please list out the info for each hundred group, not just the final 13er.

If you're reporting a 12er or lower milestone (Highest 700 and anything elevation-oriented beyond that), please put "Beyond the 13ers" in the subject line, and include your name, and the name and date of your final peak in the list(s) you've completed.

I have been to the mountaintop, and I have seen the forceand the power that animates the universe. That may notmatch up with your anthropomorphic or teleological idea ofwhat "god" is, but it's good enough for me.

Way Cool!

That should be quite the shindig...I'll be looking forward to location info!

Carol & I finished the named-but-unranked 14er list this year (North Eolus, Conundrum, North Maroon, El Diente, Cameron). I propose we call it the "Middlebrook Society", since this site is responsible for enlarging "the list" to 58 peaks.

Again, which unranked peaks are on the CMC list? I am under the impression it counts Challenger and El Diente only. Is this correct?
